We take a look at the NFL teams on bye in Week 10.

We’re ten weeks into the 2014 NFL season and almost all the way through the bye week gauntlet.

It’s the second week in a row with six teams out, and some of these teams need the vacation bad, as they have to retool and reboot for the final stretch. For others, the bye week is business as usual—they may get an extra day off, but for the most part they will be prepping for Week 11.

It’s hard to say whether a late bye week is good or bad—by now teams are pretty beat up and can often use a little time to rest, but if you have momentum, this could disrupt it.

Which brings us back to a team who is still working hard during its break, and where we start our bye week analysis.
